The book is a comprehensive analysis of the history and culture of the Philippines, and an argument for the recognition of the Filipinos as a distinct and independent people.

He argues that the Philippines has a rich and unique culture that has been shaped by its history and geography. He also highlights the contributions of Filipino heroes and leaders, such as Jose Rizal, in the struggle for independence.The author then delves into the economic and social conditions of the Philippines under American rule, highlighting the exploitation and oppression of the Filipino people. He argues that the United States has failed to live up to its promise of granting the Philippines independence, and that the Filipinos deserve the right to govern themselves.
Throughout the book, Kalaw uses a combination of historical analysis, political commentary, and personal anecdotes to make his case for Filipino independence. He also addresses common misconceptions and stereotypes about the Philippines and its people, challenging readers to see the country and its people in a new light.
